The saga of 12 boys and their soccer coach who spent more than two weeks trapped in a cave in northern Thailand reached a positive conclusion on July 10 when rescuers retrieved the last of the group from their subterranean confines. 

In the Denver area, the staff of Intermap Technologies was paying close attention to the rescue efforts, in part because they directly assisted them.
